Some people actually play Mafia in this part of the Internet. Who knew? In any case, there's nine of you here clamoring to play a game and me hosting it. A bunch of you might even be new. That sounds like a recipe for joy.
The confirmation phase is to ensure that players have read and understood their role PMs. The mafia private topic is open for use during this period. Players should confirm by responding to their role PM with their assigned alignment and role. Simply posting in a private topic may not constitute confirmation. Pre-game lasts for 48 hours or until all players have submitted valid confirmations, whichever occurs first.
Day
The Day phase ends at deadline or when a simple majority of votes occur. Day phases will have a deadline of 14 days. The mafia private topic is closed during this period. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline or there is a majority of votes for No Lynch, Day will end without a lynch.
Players may vote, or unvote, for players to be lynched by posting their choices in bold (e.g.,
Vote: mith
and
Unvote
). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g.,
Unvote, Vote: mith
). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: mith and UNVOTE: ) is optional. Votes placed by accounts not present in the game will not be counted. Vote tricks will not be tolerated, and any judgment passed over the validity of any ambiguous votes is final.
Twilight
The Twilight phase is the period between the hammer vote (i.e., the last vote that put someone at a majority) and the beginning of the Night phase. Once a majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count. All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to talk in Twilight phase until the thread is locked, at which point Day ends. Dead players may not post until the game has been officially declared over.
Night
The Night phase lasts 72 hours. The mafia private topic is open for use during this period.
Actions may be submitted via PM or private topic. Actions not received by deadline will be considered forfeit. Actions may be submitted ahead of time and can be changed as many times as desired; at deadline, the last valid action that was submitted will be used. Wherever possible, a reminder is sent 24 hours before the deadline to all players with an eligible action.
Game Rules
In general, anything that may be seen as underhanded that is not in this post may still be against the rules. Attempts to abuse technicalities in the rules will be considered rule violations.
Activity
- Prods are automatically issued after 48 hours of inactivity. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to post in the game thread before a replacement is sought. Saturday and Sunday is considered a 24-hour period. An excessive number of prods can lead to replacement without further notice.
Civility
- Please keep the game civil and avoid personal attacks. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs will not be tolerated.
Discussion of Ongoing Games
- While this game is running, you may not discuss this game anywhere outside of the game thread unless you have been explicitly allowed to do so. You may not discuss any other game in this thread before it has been declared over.
What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas
- Do not quote, or pretend to quote, any private communication, including game-related PMs, instant messages, and QuickTopics. Quoting time stamps from any private communication is also forbidden. Paraphrasing is allowed; quoting from public sources is also allowed.
Hidden Messages
- If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. For cases of breadcrumbing where you aren't sure if this rule would be violated, please PM me beforehand.
Impersonation
- Do not use
#BF0000
. Do not make any post with the intent of impersonating the moderator.
Play to Win
- Players are expected to play to their win condition. Do not purposefully act against the interests of your faction out of your boredom or anger.
Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis. I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of any changes in the thread.
Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.

Setup
The Matrix6 setup is used for Newbie Games. To prevent the development of game-breaking strategies, these Newbie Games are semi-open, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen as detailed below.
A
B
C
1
town jailer
town vanilla
mafia goon
2
mafia roleblocker
town cop
town doctor
3
town 1-shot bulletproof
mafia goon
town tracker
This game's setup will incorporate either one row or one column from the table above and include an additional 1 mafia goon and 5 town vanillas.
Keep the following in mind:
Mafia must specify who is performing what Night action when the actions are submitted.
In applicable situations, a roleblocker's action will resolve before a jailer's action.
In applicable situations, a mafia roleblocker has the option of submitting both roleblocks and kills, even when the goon is still alive.
Click the button below to view all of the possible role PMs.
You and your partner may talk in this private topic during the confirmation and Night phases, and you may choose one player each Night to kill.
You win when all threats to the mafia have been eliminated, or when nothing can prevent such an occurrence, and at least one member of the mafia remains standing.

Everyone loves a good lynch. Don't you? No? Oh, come on. You all love lynches so much that you'd string up just about anyone when deadline is about to hit. Even a cop.

Please send me a PM indicating whether or not you will agree to a deadline extension. The decision must be unanimous. If the extension is approved, then the deadline will be extended by four days from the current deadline.
